Washington Gas Light Company

Washington Gas Light Company, doing business as Washington Gas, is a regulated natural gas utility serving federal agencies and civilian government facilities across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region as a prime contractor on full-and-open natural gas delivery and utility service procurement, with no SBA set-aside posture and no subcontract footprint in its federal work.

Washington Gas is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in 1000 Maine Avenue SW, Washington, D.C., operating under primary NAICS 221511 (Natural Gas Distribution) with a secondary NAICS 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas). The company is characterized in the source as a regulated utility serving over one million customers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. All 2,931 federal awards in the portfolio are prime awards; the vendor does not subcontract. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-asides across its federal footprint.

Washington Gas's capability portfolio is entirely natural gas utility delivery and infrastructure support — meter management, consolidated billing, natural gas transmission and distribution, utility service payments, and specialized infrastructure work including gas main relocation. Representative recent prime work includes a $56.985 million delivery order from the National Institutes of Health (December 2021) under the GSA PBS Natural Gas Supply 2016-2020 master IDIQ for utility payments, meter services, and consolidated billing at the NIH Bethesda facility; a $3.999 million delivery order from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (November 2024) for generation and transmission of natural gas to the Greenbelt, Maryland installation; a $2.002 million delivery order from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (March 2025) for natural gas utility services at the National Laboratory Center in Beltsville, Maryland; and an $8.844 million purchase order from the Federal Highway Administration (March 2023, extended June 2026) for temporary and permanent gas main relocation work supporting the Arlington National Cemetery Southern Expansion Project in Virginia.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to civilian federal real estate and research agencies. The top five customer organizations (by award count coverage 71%) are the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (1,011 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director (405 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value), HHS NIH Construction (262 awards, $260.4 million), the Department of the Air Force (236 awards), and HHS NIH Office of Research Facilities Development Operations Acquisitions (180 awards, $876.4 million). The potential-value ranking (80% coverage) tracks similarly but elevates HHS NIH ORFDO to the top (180 awards, $876.4 million), followed by GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (128 awards, $460.5 million), HHS NIH Construction (262 awards, $260.4 million), HHS Food and Drug Administration (15 awards, $35 million), and Armed Forces Retirement Home (22 awards, $20.5 million). The concentration reflects Washington Gas's role as the regional natural gas utility monopoly supplying federal facilities across the D.C. area rather than competitive breadth.

Washington Gas holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (GS00P06BSD0393) with a $50 million ceiling awarded by the Energy Division in March 2026 for a ten-year areawide contract to service the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. The vendor also places task orders under several GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements: GS00P96BSD0029 carries 613 task orders ($89 million combined potential value), GS00P96BSD0029-HHSN263200100054135B carries 469 task orders ($13.4 million), and HHSN292200900003B carries 309 task orders ($58.6 million). The GSA PBS Natural Gas Supply 2016-2020 master IDIQ, referenced across the award history, carries multiple delivery orders valued from tens of thousands to over $57 million. Task-order volume across vehicles reflects the operational scale of utility billing cycles and facility-by-facility service provisioning rather than discrete IT or professional services engagements.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years — eight to nine awards annually from 2023 through 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026 as of mid-June. Nineteen awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $78 million, representing moderate recompete exposure. The combined potential value across the entire 2,931-award portfolio is $2.06 billion, with $1.15 billion obligated (56% utilization), indicating substantial ongoing utility service commitments. The vendor's first award in the source data dates to November 1980, reflecting decades of continuous federal service.
